Poem: Red

Hey, it's been a while since I last blogged, so I thought I'd take the time to share with you another poem I wrote a long time ago. Presenting: "Red"

*****

Heart aflutter

Feelings rise, rushing to my head

Red all around

But not the Red of Love

Tensions tear at my being

My thoughts clouded

As volume speakers reach new heights

Red Rage blaze

Blood pumps fast

Muscles clench to implosion

The suspense holds strong

And my judgement does blur

Poem: Demons' Night

Night as once a year

Comes and beckons

For Winds to wail

For wolves to howl

And for spirits to roar

Dead branches sway as Shadows rise

It is time

The time of the Demons

Let the dead take back their broken vessels

Hungry and wild, like beasts

Let man's sanity fall with a thirst for blood

As remembered of ancient tyrants

Red Eyes light the darkness

No comfort do they bring

Foolish travelers be lured to their doom

To join the Red Eyes

Laugh, they do at the world's misery

Rejoice, they do to the world's fall

And eagerly they commit, crimes for which there is no redemption

So hide, ye of pure and good

Lock yourselves away in thy homes

Leave not a child outside

Or do, if thou art demonic

And join the ranks of the Night

Of Monsters, Wickedness and Evil

For only those are welcome, who scoff at peace

Who see love disgusting

Who laugh and mock those who preach justice

Now let the Feast of Fear begin!

Let the Drink of Tears start!

Let a Red River run

Fires be snuffed out

No Warmth to be found

Quiver! Shake! Tremble!

There will be no Laughter tonight

Only Whimpers from the Children of Light

For this is the Demons' Night

Happy November, Everyone

Hey all my followers and fans. It's me, Victor, the lazy writer.

How're you all doing? Hope you all had a nice Halloween. Mine was . . . uneventful, like any other day. If you follow me on Twitter, you know how I spent my Halloween, at home, watching people hunt ghosts on reality TV. I also did a little writing and fixing on one of the novels I'm working on.

I had thought about putting out a new poem, but that idea ended up slipping from my mind at the last minute. I might still post something spooky soon, even if it's a little late to the season. Maybe I'll even get started on it after I'm done with this post.

Speaking of novels, October really wasn't my month. Well, a lot of months really weren't my month as a writer. Checking on my records just keeps reminding me to never quit my day job.

Anyway, I'm getting closer and closer to finishing my current novels. My pace is slowing down a bit though. It's been getting harder and harder lately for me to put what I imagine into words, even though there are so many other worlds I want to give shape with them. I keep telling myself to write as my heart desired, but that remains easier said than done. As the saying goes, old habits die hard.

Well, my personal and work life have also taken a lot of my time write now, so there's that.

Hopefully, my fingers will start flying over the keyboard soon, but in the meantime, I've been thinking about what to do in the future. Maybe start a new blog and release a new original story there, just keep things the way they are for now, or try something like Patreon. I'm not sure how that last one would work, or if I'll actually do it. All of these are just ideas I'm floating around right now, after all.

And that's all for this entry.

Happy reading, everyone!
